Application Form

Borrowing from the printmaking term, ONE-ON-ONE in this case means an individual teaching approach meeting the student at his or her level of experience. Time will be devoted to studio work and to developing and understanding each student’s process, visual language and content, as well as open exchanges on contemporary printmaking. The medium is the student’s choice: metal, cardboard, plastic; as is the technique: collography, monoprint, mixed media, collage, small or large format. The intention of the course is above all to stimulate each participant’s work, pointing the student to new, innovative ways of expression.
